mcjTransport, model/animate spline based tubes - Version 1 is out !!

mCasual

the code to do this was "hand tweaked" each time i needed a hem or strap

i didn't do all the work needed to make it ( safely ) usable by someone else.

the script starts by mapping each edge of the mesh connected to each vertex

then you 'point' to a starting vertex, say at the bottom of a skirt,

and you "point out" the direction you want to "walk"

then a null node walks from vertex to vertex along the straightest possible route along the edges

then one can use mcjPathTube or mcjTransport or mcjRibbons to extrude a tube-mesh along the path of the null node  

 

i will probably deliver that promise someday , but by todo list is loaded :)

the hems of the "finnkini bottom" were done with the help of the "walkers"

Is there anything like mcjEdgeWalker available? It sounds interesting...

Ah, the "todo" list. I understand!
